My thoughts on College basketball is that there are no clear cut #1 teams in the country. The closest think to a number one team would have to be Kansas. With Kentucky, Syracuse and possibly Villanova. Kentucky is probably the most talented team in the country but they are very young. John Wall looks like he has hit that Freshman wall and is tired. Also Demarcus Cousins is a very talented player but can get lazy and has the potential to get thrown out of any game with his temper. Patrick Patterson is the key to this team. He needs to show leadership and demand the ball. Syracuse has an abundance of over-achieving players with one excellent JUCO player in Wesley Johnson. But if they run into a hot shooting team that can beat their zone then they are in trouble. It only takes 1 team. Villanova all you really have to say is Scottie Reynolds. He is amazing and could carry this team to the title. Kansas on the other hand has the Big farm boy with a missing tooth in Cole Aldrich. Also a senior point guard in Sherron Collins (spelling). He can certainly hit that big shot. My surprise team of the tournament is going to be Ohio State. They are growing as a team and with Evan Turner leading the way anything is possible. He is the player of the year no doubt. He is amazing. Plus William Buford, David Lighty and Dallas Louderdale. They have all the pieces to make a run. The issue is their depth. Their starters score 80% of their points and I feel they could tire out with all the games in a row. Whats scary is that all these title contenders could lose in the 2nd or 3rd round. This is going to be like 2006 when George Mason made the run. There is no clear cut favorite and I cant wait to drink beers and watch all the games.
